"A West Village restaurant with a doorman/reservation gatekeeping vibe that the author finds off-putting but acknowledges is paired with legendary cocktails and solid food. The menu’s highlighted items include a strawberry-rhubarb negroni from an entire ‘Negroni Sessions’ page, blue-cheese-stuffed olives, a delicious trout salad, a half-chicken (called just okay), and a standout sautéed spinach; the overall experience mixes excellent drinks with some clubby energy." - Alyssa Shelasky, Maanvi Kapur
